Period charm minutes from town centre and station, chain-free and ready to update.
Chain-free freehold cottage in central Halesworth
A charming two-bedroom period cottage set a short walk from Halesworth town centre and station. The front sitting room retains original panelled doors, pine panelling and alcove shelving; there’s scope to reinstate the original fireplace for added character. Upstairs offers two comfortable double bedrooms, good built-in storage and a practical shower room with airing cupboard.
The rear kitchen/dining room is generous for this style of home, fitted with base and wall units, a gas hob and electric double oven. A large rear window looks over an enclosed walled courtyard garden with mature borders and a garden studio previously used as an art room. The property has gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and sensible storage across both floors.
Practical points to note: the rear garden is bisected to allow access to the neighbouring property, and the front currently offers potential rather than guaranteed off-street parking. The ground-floor WC/utility previously housed a bath/shower and could be reinstated as a full bathroom if required. Some elements are dated and offer scope for modernization and cosmetic updating to suit personal taste.
This chain-free freehold cottage will appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a period home close to local amenities and the Suffolk Heritage Coast (around 20 minutes by car). It represents a comfortable, characterful base with straightforward improvement potential and low council tax costs.
